"O my servants! Sorrow not if, in these days and on this earthly plane, things contrary to your wishes have been ordained and manifested by God, for days of blissful joy, of heavenly delight, are assuredly in store for you. Worlds, holy and spiritually glorious, will be unveiled to your eyes. You are destined by Him, in this world and hereafter, to partake of their benefits, to share in their joys, and to obtain a portion of their sustaining grace. To each and every one of them you will, no doubt, attain." I love Baha'u'llah. I love Him. I love him. I love her. I love you. Current Mood: thoughtful

My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury, or wear as jewelery, which ever you prefer. The words are hushed lets not get busted; just lay entwined here, undiscovered. Safe in here from all the stupid questions. "hey did you get some?" Man, that is so dumb. Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear... SO WE CAN GET SOME. anyways... now with that said, i must say that i am like way super happier than i was yesterday, i got a job now, which is good. i am going to have a temp job working in the mailroom at the Baha'i National Center. (the Baha'i Faith is like the best thing ever for those of you that read this and are not familiar with it) so thats good, i am glad i will have a job and an income again, cept i think i need to buy some clothes and what not. blah. oh well it will work out no matter what. I think that the world would be a better place if everyone understood eachother, rather than this confusion and lying and backbiting stuff....im just here to state the obvious ppl. So i learned how to make cooking more sexual today on tv....interesting stuff. anywho. im outty happy birthday to all whose birthday is today. Current Mood: happy with a twist Current Music: hands down-duh

Not by the force of numbers, not by the mere exposition of a set of new and noble principles, not by an organized campaign of teaching -- no matter how worldwide and elaborate in its character -- not even by the staunchness of our faith or the exaltation of our enthusiasm, can we ultimately hope to vindicate in the eyes of a critical and sceptical age the supreme claim of the Abha Revelation. One thing and only one thing will unfailingly and alone secure the undoubted triumph of this sacred Cause, namely, the extent to which our own inner life and private character mirror forth in their manifold aspects the splendor of those eternal principles proclaimed by Bahá'u'lláh. (Shoghi Effendi, Baha'i Administration, p. 66) that is insane!!!! i have read this quote many many times but i am just utterly befuddled (not sure if thats a real word) by it. Read it a few times then let me tell you how i try to break it down. 'Not by the force of numbers' so that means that even if the majority of the world was Baha'i that we couldn't 'ultimately hope to vindicate in the eyes of a critical and sceptical age the supreme claim of the Abha Revelation'. 'not by the mere exposition of a set of new and noble principles'-that means we cant hope to bring triumph to this cause even if we expose to the world all of these new and noble priciples. 'not by an organized campaign of teaching'. 'not even by the staunchness of our faith or the exaltation of our enthusiasm'- according to dictionary.com staunchness is the noun form of staunch and staunch means-Firm and steadfast; true. or Having a strong or substantial construction or constitution. and exaltation means- The act of exalting or the condition of being exalted. or A state or feeling of intense, often excessive exhilaration or well-being. So... no matter how firm or steadfast our faith is and no matter how intense our enthusiasm, these things wont lead to the triumph of this cuase. There is only one thing that can-"One thing and only one thing will unfailingly and alone secure the undoubted triumph of this sacred Cause, namely, the extent to which our own inner life and private character mirror forth in their manifold aspects the splendor of those eternal principles proclaimed by Bahá'u'lláh." The only thing that will lead to the success of this cause is how much our inner being (and the parts of us that are completely private) mirror those priciples of Baha'u'llah. If anyone has any comments on this please tell me i wanna understand how other ppl look at this too. anyways im outty i gotta go to a devotional gathering. lots of love aaron Current Mood: optimistic Current Music: three 6 Mafia- Ridin spinners
